Superbara

Web app test scripting that does not hurt.

• Stands on the shoulders of Capybara
• All batteries included: just start scripting, nothing extra required
• A powerful command line interface with interactive debugger
• The most natural test language that is still programming, see:

visit "mysite.com"
wait 3 do
  has_text? "welcome"
end
scroll 20
click_link "enter"
name_field = find "input#name"
name_field.type "Sarah", :enter
if has_text? "Welcome, Sarah"
  run "logout"
else
  assert "no greeting visible"
end

Install & Usage

superbara usage

Documentation

See https://matti.github.io/superbara for getting started and language reference.

Some things that Superbara does that Capybara does not:

# find+click in one line!
click 'h1'
# wait up to 3 seconds for block to return something else than nil or false
wait 3 do
  has_text? "Welcome"
end
wait 3.1 do
  find "#username"
end
# simulates real typing
textarea = find "textarea"
textarea.type "hello", :backspace, :backspace, :backspace, "sinki", :enter
# scrolling
scroll 50
scroll -20, duration: 4
# works also without http://
visit 'example.com'
# highlights when in interactive mode or SUPERBARA_VISUAL env is set
find "h1"
# runs project/file.rb
run "vars"
# possible to run just once per session (superbara start) to speed up
run "login", {}, once: true
# ..and do something when already ran
run "login", {}, once: true do
  # when already logged in
  visit "http://www.example.com/main"
end
# opens debugger when exception happens or when the test finishes or
debug
# back, forward, reload (and not only go_back, go_forward, refresh)
back
forward
reload
# natural sleeps, sleep between 2 and 4 seconds
think 2..4

Everything that works in Capybara, works in Superbara, see https://github.com/teamcapybara/capybara/#the-dsl
